Welcome to Litsy!

Kingston‘s prose is gorgeous. Gwenllian‘s life as an unconventional woman in medieval Wales is compelling stuff. I should be singing THE KING‘S MAN‘s praises.

Except I HATE Ranulf. If this were regular HF, I could appreciate him as a loathsome character who might develop into someone better. It‘s romance, though, and I can‘t stomach more than 94 pages of Ranulf-as-love-interest. I‘m SO over his brand of alpha male bullshit.

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes, bookmarks, and the book! Can‘t wait to get started, @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego #poutinepenpals are the best!

#LitsyPSA: This is FREE through this week because the fourth book is coming out. I‘ve not read it but there are some on bookish Twitter who seem to think it‘s an excellent idea to acquire, and read, this book. And the audiobook comes recommended. If you buy the Kindle version of a book (and free counts) you can get the Audible book for a reduced cost. Cat Sebastian says ”There‘s sword-related competence porn” in it. #romantsy

I read House of Cads (hopefully Litsy librarians will add it soon, it wasn't available to tag) after seeing Elizabeth Kingston's presentation on white supremacy in historical romance. I enjoyed her writing and the fact that this deviated from the formulaic duke story that is common in historical romance.

Hey goodreads, I have EIGHT books in my currently reading list, I think we all know what I should do next. 😂

If you are one of those who secretly (or not so secretly) wanted plain, braw, badass Brienne of Tarth to win the heart of the wickedly beautiful Jaimie Lannister, this novel is for you. Bonus: Unlike Martin, you actually get three dimensional, complex characters AND medieval machinations for absolute power. So, yeah, READ IT!
